Flying Predator

J: J Gates

T: D Cason

Completely tailed off on his debut (here, 6f) when some way behind the towards the rear, What A Predator, at 50-1 in August; should improve with a run under his belt although it was only a modest start.

Turf Guru

J: L Nhlapo

T: J A Visser

Few miles on the clock with this his third race; finished out the back at Greyville six months ago upped to 1m; others more appealing.

Just Jazzed Up

J: C Zackey

T: P F Matchett

Finished eighth of ten on her debut at Turffontein at 33-1 12 months ago; long absence to overcome; she takes on the boys here; entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and shouldn't be far away.

Age: 3

Weight: 9-1

17 Feb 24	Tur Turffontein	6f	Md	9-6	8/10	It's Her Way (7¼L)	33/1	-	20

Pursuit Of Fame needs to be considered while Just Jazzed Up has potential to improve. But OLD FASHIONED is hard to look beyond. He can be excused his most recent run.
